Solution
Photosystems:
All photosynthetic organisms have light-harvesting systems in their photosynthetic apparatus.
These systems aren't required for the photosynthetic process, but they do boost the capacity for light-harvesting and serve as key regulators.
Because light-harvesting systems often have a high pigment/protein ratio, they are a cost-effective technique to increase light-harvesting capacity.
The protein backbones organize the light-harvesting pigments in such a way that the absorbed light energy is efficiently transmitted from the pigment that was first stimulated into the photosynthetic reaction center, where charge separation occurs.
Inside Photosystem-I and Photosystem-I, the arrangement of the pigments is done in two different photochemical light-harvesting complexes.
They are referred to as they were discovered, not as they work in the light reaction.
Hundreds of color molecules are attached to proteins in the LHC.
The photosystem has all the pigments except one molecule of chlorophyll, which is Antennae.
